Chapter 264 Back, back, back!

"Situ Kezhi, what is a powerful family?" In front of the hall, Liu Xie quietly put his hands together and put them behind his back, recalling the old Dong's teachings and resolving doubts.

"The gate valve..."

Although this class had been formed in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the concept had not yet emerged.People call the big families of the gentry, and they are usually defined by 'family status' and 'family'.

Liu Xie suddenly asked a question this time, and it was difficult for Wang Yun to describe it accurately.

"I didn't say it out loud at the time, but Shang Fu said, the clan is actually very simple: your father is an official, and you are also an official, and your son, son-in-law, and nephew are destined to be officials too. Your family is an official." Valve."

"And the upper-class class composed of these elites is the gentry."

Speaking of this, the expression on Liu Xie's immature face changed subtly, and he continued: "As long as you are born in a noble family, you will automatically be superior to others and have the same power."

"Some of them who have read poetry and books, have far-reaching insights, and are noble in character will take the world and the common people as their ambitions. Keeping their duties and doing their best to serve the court will contribute to the community."

"But after all, there are too few such people. Most of them lie on the people of Li and common people to suck blood and suck cream, and accept the support of the lower class, and they think it is only right and proper!"

"Your Majesty!..." Hearing this, Wang Yun immediately wanted to refute.

Liu Xie suddenly waved his hand and interrupted: "Situ, don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet..."

"Father Shang also told me that these are not the most frightening things. What I am afraid of are noble families and powerful landlords, who have a natural desire to proliferate."

"They will plunder, expropriate, and form an unbreakable political alliance. They will live forever in the dream of being prosperous and domineering!"

"Your Majesty!..." Hearing this, Wang Yun couldn't bear it anymore, and interrupted with a loud shout.

But he considered himself a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, so far he still dare not disrespect Liu Xie.

But he needed to vent his grief and anger, so he suddenly turned his head to look at old Dong, and cursed: "Dong thief, traitor, evil thief, traitor!... You deceived the sage, slandered and slandered the nobles, your heart is to be punished, it is a crime!" No pardon!"

Old Dong was intoxicated by Liu Xie's repeated "Father Shang", and gradually began to lose himself. Suddenly, he called out "Dong thief, traitor, evil thief, traitor" and immediately woke him up.

Immediately, he was so angry that he went straight to Tianling Gaier, pointed like a sword, stomped his right leg, and began to stamp his fingers with great power: "Back, back, back!...Back the old man, you are the king thief, the traitor!" , villain, traitor!"

"No, you are just a stupid thief, a blind, withdrawn and stubborn old stupid thief!" As he spoke, he waved his hand with a livid face, "Bring it to the old man!"

Tian Yi immediately took out a stack of files from a box of paper manuscripts in the car.

Just as I was about to hand it over to Old Dong, I heard again: "You don't need to give it to the old man, give it to Situ and let him see it for himself!"

Wang Yun was confused, took the file and glanced at it, his complexion suddenly changed: "This is impossible!...Dong thief, in order to eliminate dissidents, you fabricate accusations like this, create something out of nothing, and slander our Wang family, what is your intention? "

Liu Bian rolled his eyes, wondering what the old Dong had come up with to make Wang Yun, who was still furious just now, lose his momentum in an instant.

"It's Wang Chen, the son of Wang Situ's elder brother, who used Situ's name to wantonly accept bribes in Luoyang, pretending to be a tiger, and using power for personal gain."

Liu Xie replied in a low voice, and couldn't help sighing: "According to Shangfu's words, Wang Yun just can't see through it. He thinks that all the scholars in the world are for him. He takes the world as his own responsibility and wholeheartedly for the court."

"Although Shangfu has a different standpoint from Situ, he still admires him as an official for many years. He has never corrupted the law, and his family education is very strict. His sons are also upright and self-confident."

"Oh..." Liu Bian nodded, and immediately understood, "Although his family is clean and honest, his nephew is unlearned and incompetent, and he thought about having an uncle Situ, so why?..."

"good."

After listening, Liu Bian became worried for some reason: "Imperial Brother... Uh, Your Majesty, in this way, Xiangguo hates those who are lazy, idle, have no contribution to the country and enjoy high officials and rich salary?"

"Hmm..." Liu Xie was puzzled, nodded and asked, "Why did the emperor suddenly ask this?"

"Because..." Liu Bian's face suddenly looked mournful, and he said worriedly: "Don't your majesty think that Gu is actually that kind of person?"

"..."

Liu Xie was taken aback, but he was speechless: Brother Huang, you are... quite self-aware.

At this time, Wang Yun was holding the file in his hand, as if it weighed a thousand catties, and seemed to break the supporting spine, and retorted hysterically, "Even if these files are true, Dong Thief, you can guarantee that your children will never pretend to be powerful when they are outside. Using power for personal gain?"

Hearing this, Old Dong couldn't help laughing, and pointed at Dong Huang: "Could it be that Master Zi is talking about Huang'er?"

"I'm sorry, in order to prevent this from happening, the old man has disciplined him well a year ago. Although he still drinks and fights and walks around Zhangtai now, he has never done such things as using power for personal gain in the name of the old man."

Dong Huang, who was majestic and majestic astride the Liangzhou horse, never thought that he would be shot while lying down, and his expression was extremely depressed for a moment: Uncle, in front of more than a thousand palace guards, my nephew is their commander, Save some face, okay?
Sensing the nephew's resentment, Old Dong changed the subject, and said to Wang Yun, "Hmph, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not, I will investigate thoroughly and accept the supervision of Yushitai."

"But your nephew's matter is solidly proved. The facts are right in front of you. If you don't believe me, you can ask Wang Chen after you go back!"

Wang Yun immediately let out a sneer and said: "The old man will ask himself!..."

As soon as I said this, I suddenly realized something.Immediately, he looked at Shi Sun Rui and others beside him, all of them looked in disbelief.

Similarly, the resolute shame and indignation on his face, with a disgusting obstinacy, was also covered by great shock: "Tai, the Taiwei actually wants to let the old man go back?"

"You conspired to assassinate the Prime Minister of the current court. Of course, it is impossible to go back as a Situ. But after all, the old man is superior, and if your scheme is not allowed to succeed, it is an attempted murder."

"The old man is not a devil, everything will be dealt with according to the "Han Law"." Then, he looked back to find Zhong Yao, "Yuan Chang, how should we deal with the attempted murder of the Prime Minister of the current dynasty?"

"Chop in half to show the world, confiscate property!"

"The old man said it was unsuccessful."

"Xiangguo, this is the sentence of the attempt. If it is completed, the three clans will be punished..."

Old Dong was dumbfounded, and asked again: "Didn't you have been asked to amend the "Han Law" as appropriate, to be fair and just, and to have a lenient sentence to bring peace to the world?"

Zhong Yao was also in a dilemma, and replied in a low voice: "Xiangguo, what I said just now was the conviction of murdering Sangong, not Xiangguo. Xiangguo is the head of all officials, and his position is above Sangong, which is already a burden of the court's prestige."

"If such crimes of treason and immorality are to be punished with lenient punishment, then where is the majesty of the court, and where should the safety of officials be placed?"

After hearing the words, Old Dong pondered, and found... Zhong Yao was really justified in this matter.

The current situation of the Han Dynasty is similar to the separatist rule of the Tang Dynasty.Civil disputes can be treated with leniency and slowness, and education is the first priority, but when dealing with political issues, we must not be soft-hearted.

Once this happens, it may lead to the assassination of the prime minister and Yushi Zhongcheng in the street during the Tang Xianzong period-if there is no deterrence to get this done, who will follow him to reform and help the Han Dynasty in the future?
But then again, Wang Yun really didn't want to kill him.

Firstly, it is still useful to keep it, and secondly, compared with Yuan Kai and his group, Wang Yun is still different.

Yuan Kai and others have completely become puppets of power, regardless of anything in order to fight for power and profit.He regards the common people in the world as worthless, and if he says to raise troops, he will raise them.

They also didn't pay attention to the Han Dynasty court at all, even the call to action was issued in the name of Taifu, Situ, and Sikong.

Although Wang Yun also wanted to defend the status of scholars, he was also deeply influenced by the traditional Confucian thought of "safeguarding the country and appeasing the people".During his tenure as Situ, he was very reliable in handling things.

In particular, he actively cooperated with his own reform policies to improve people's livelihood and achieved fruitful results.

"As long as the thinking doesn't slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties." Old Dong patted Zhong Yao's back, whispered in his ear, "Yuan Chang, if you think about it again, can you come up with a solution to get the best of both worlds?"
